About Me

Together with my oldest son, I started a family tree on MyHeritage.com. Little did I know that this tree would change my life. The bare branches of this tree made me realize how little I knew about my roots. As I began to explore my family history, I discovered that the more I knew, there more I wanted to know. I embarked an a life changing journey which transformed my life. I became an avid genealogist, I published a small part of my research in my first non-fiction book and I began this blog. I was born in Israel and moved to the Boston area at the age of thirteen. Before I dedicated myself to writing, my life took an unusual path. I studied biology at Brandeis University then medicine at University of Massachusetts, but left my medical career, choosing to raise my family with my husband in Cuernavaca, Mexico. In Mexico I became involved with the many entrepreneurial endeavors. Currently I resides back in the Boston area, am the proud mother of three sons, and owns a Cultural Center in Mexico.

My current mission is to help other write their story! It's never too later or too early to start. You don't have to be famous to write a memoir. You just have to share your story with all. I hope that Stored Treasures will help motivate all, young and old to pick up the pen and start writing!
